A fairy tale cottage set in the enchanted Aeghrum forest

A new take on Goldilocks…

 

If the golden ‘kin falls, the Aeghrum falls. And as the forest goes, so goes the rest of the ‘kin.

Wolf-shifter Wyatt spent most of his life trying to ignore they way fate kept trying to twist him to some predetermined path.

Until he discovered that if he failed at whatever destiny had planned for him, it could spell danger for his brother and his pack.

When bear-shifter Kory found Wyatt unconsciouses and suffering from a wolfsbane laced wound, she knew he was going to be trouble.

The Aeghrum will rise or fall with the choice made in the Guardian’s heart.

But she didn’t realize that his arrival heralded the unfolding of her clans greatest prophecy.

And with it, an inevitable fate Kory accepted the day she took her oath as the forest’s Guardian.

Torn between duty and love, prophecy and free will, these star-crossed shifters must find a way to forge their own happily-ever-after before time runs out for them all.

 Characters You’ll Fall in Love With

 

🐻 Korenna – Fierce, loyal, and strong, Kory didn’t become Guardian of the Aeghrum by accident. Abandoned by a mother who betrayed her oath to the Bear Clan, Kory found her true family in the Triune. Because of that, she has dedicated her life to being everything her mother wasn’t.
Her bear form is as impressive as her determination, and her connection to the Earth Stone gives her access to magic most can only dream of wielding. As Guardian of the Aeghrum, she’s sworn to protect the forest with her life if necessary. A vow she never questioned until a certain golden wolf stumbled into her cottage.

🐺 Wyatt – With his close-cropped blond hair and the wicked scar curving through his eyebrow, Wyatt moves through the world with the careful calculation of someone who’s been burned by trust before. But beneath his golden wolf exterior beats the heart of a man who simply wants peace and stability. A dream that seemed to slip further away with each passing year.
Intelligent, perceptive, and surprisingly gentle, Wyatt has spent his life feeling like a pawn in some cosmic game. Now, he must embrace the very fate he’s been running from to protect those he loves.

💫 The Triune: Wisdom, Guidance, Protection

An unbroken chain of remarkable women, known as the Triune, have stood guard over the power and secrets of the Aeghrum for centuries. The current trio

Nocomie – The silver-haired Keeper whose storm-grey eyes see far more than she reveals and whoser enigmatic smiles hide centuries of knowledge.

Alta – The Guide whose gentle hands heal while her quiet wisdom teaches. In her sprawling garden, she nurtures both plants and apprentices with equal care.

Kory – The Guardian whose strength forms the final barrier between the forest and those who would destroy it.

Together, they form a formidable defense against those who would exploit the forest’s ancient magic. But even they couldn’t predict how one wolf-shifter would change everything they thought they knew about fate.

Magic, Adventure, and Romance

 In Golden Wolf, these three essential elements of fantasy romance are woven together into a world readers will never want to leave.

🔮 Magic That Transforms

The ancient matrices left by the Old Ones have shaped the world in profound ways.

The Earth Stone doesn’t just grant bearkin their shifting abilities, it creates a unique connection that allows the Triune to channel magic directly from within.

Unlike the conventional magic of the outside world that requires relics and artifacts, the bearkin’s power flows unencumbered through their veins—raw, elemental, and deeply personal.

⚔️ Adventure That Keeps Pages Turning

From the mysterious Aeghrum Forest with its protective wards to the Sacred Cavern housing the Earth Stone, every setting in Golden Wolf becomes a character in its own right. The adventure unfolds at a breathless pace as Wyatt and Kory:

  • Uncover ancient prophecies that bind their fates
  • Race against time to restore the forest’s protective magic
  • Face down a mercenary army led by the ruthless Cyrus
  • Make impossible choices that will determine the future of all shifter-kind

❤️ Romance That Resonates

At its heart, Golden Wolf is a story about two people who find each other against impossible odds.

Wyatt and Kory’s connection begins with suspicion and wariness. The wolf-shifter and the bearkin guardian with seemingly opposing purposes.

But as they race to save the forest and the families of choice they’ve gathered around themselves, something unexpected blooms between them.

Their love story unfolds in quiet moments of shared confidences about painful pasts, stolen kisses in ancient ruins, and the ultimate realization that some bonds are worth fighting fate for.

When Kory faces her final choice between duty and love, readers will find themselves holding their breath, hoping against hope that these star-crossed shifters can rewrite their destiny.
